Online Information Session – introduction to volunteering
Do you support people who may be interested in volunteering, but they aren’t sure where to start or what roles are available? We would like to invite them to one of our short online information sessions where they can find out more about who we are and how we can help support them in finding a role. These sessions complement our monthly pop-in sessions where you can find us in a library / community venue within the BCP area!
